[QUOTE="Alexandra100, post: 2326920, member: 429870"] This is the NHS advice: "Do not take more than 100 micrograms (4,000 IU) of vitamin D a day as it could be harmful. This applies to adults, including pregnant and breastfeeding women and the elderly, and children aged 11 to 17 years." You can find much more about vitamin D on the NHS site: [URL]https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/vitamins-and-minerals/vitamin-d/[/URL] Vitamin D is fat soluble, so can be stored in the body. This means that theoretically you could take quite a large dose and then none for a few days. I wouldn't go over the NHS recomended dose, though. Dr John Campbell (my go-to source for info on Covid) recommends 50mcg = 2000IU vitamin D daily (ie half the NHS recommended maximum dose) as so many of us are deficient in the vitamin AND it appears from research that having an adequate level of vitamin D in the blood protects against worse outcomes in Covid as well as against colorectal cancer and other health problems. Personally I have upped my intake of D since watching his videos. [MEDIA=youtube]Bga_qG30JyY[/MEDIA] I like Healthspan's vitamin D 2000IU spray, as bypasses my dodgy digestion.
